I read all the reviews but really didn't see this answer. I have trouble between the thumb and index finger. I need read padding for this area when lift weights. The Harbinger 1250 has this but they are for men. Are these gloves padded enough or should I go with the man's glove? Doesn't really matter as long as the man's 1250 will fit a woman's size large.

These aren't very well padded. I'm not sure about the men's, but if they are more padded, I would go with those. Really these gloves weren't very good.

There isn't a whole lot of padding between the thumb and index finger in these. I would go with the man's if you know that they have sufficient padding.

I would say the padding between the thumb and index finger is about average. If you are lifting quite a heavy weight and need thick padding I might opt for the men's glove you referred to.

I read the reviews and I recall someone giving a reference saying that you kinda want a tighter fit. My hubby wears a large glove and so I got him the medium's in the Therall Arth gloves. They fit fine. Also if you go to brighlifedirect.com they have a size chart (measure around hand at knuckle - 7" to 7-3/4" SMALL -- 8" to 8-3/4" MED --- 9-1/4" to 10-1/2" LARGE --- 10-3/4" to 11-1/2" X LARGE) hope that helps!

I disagree. I believe the 12oz gloves were extremely tight on my hands.I am also 5'8" and have medium sized hands. I would try these on at a sports good store first before purchasing them though Amazon. I had to return them because they felt uncomfortable for me.

Hi Maxine, The gloves did not specify man or woman. My gloves are medium and fit great. I have what I would consider a normal size woman's hand. They fit fairly snug but have stretch in them. I really like the glove. good luck

First, measure your hand! I thought I would take an XL but after measuring my hand, I needed an XXL. To determine your size, go here: http://harbingerfitness.blogspot.com/2010/07/harbinger-fitness-glove-size-chart.html These gloves fit snugly so if you're on the border between a smaller size and a larger size, pick the larger size.

I have "regular" size ladies hands -- and they are big on my hands, but I am able to use them -- and my husband uses them with no problem. They probably would be swimming/too big for you. It is a shame they don't come in "general" sizes (Small, Medium, Large) -- because they are the best gloves we've ever owned and worth every penny!!

I use the 1/2 finger gloves... they provide excellent compression on the wrist, hand, up to the first joint of my fingers... Maybe order a size smaller than you think you need? If you only need one glove, turn the other one inside out and you will have two of the same hand.Good luck! They also make them in "full finger" versions.Morgan.

I think I just have a good judgment of my boyfriend's hand. Men typically have larger hands than women... my boyfriend's hands are double the size of mine so I chose XL to fit perfectly and if he wanted some slack then I would have gotten 2xxl. Hope this helped.

The 12 oz. would be the way to go. Not only because of having larger hands, but also as a beginner, I feel it will protect your knuckles better than lesser oz. gloves. Hope this helps.

My wife wears a M, she is 5'1" and 105 lbs and it is fine for her. your gloves should be fine for any difference in arm length.

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting gloves.

If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose. I get my gloves wet 99.999% of the time and then they fit just perfect. I'm getting my money worth since mine are utilized for sun protection, paddling (great rubber grips) and fish gloves. I put them on prior to hitting the water and they don't come off till ready to drive home. Like any other product of this material only wash but ensure not to put them in the dryer. I am very happy with mine and will have them on for another 8 hours tomorrow. If u have small hands, get the smaller ones and so on..cheers If sizing is the concern; my hand is 8" x 4" and I ordered and use a size 10 XL. Perfect fit not too tight nor loose.

Since the gloves are 'unisex', I would suggest you go with 'medium'. I have large hands with long fingers and take a women's large, but a men's medium. At first, they may seem tight, but recognize that your fingers are probably swollen, so as you continue to wear them longer and longer, the swelling will go down, and the gloves will feel like they've loosened up. That's what happened to me.

With my hand size, I can wear an XL in mechanics gloves and they fit perfect. Because of my motorcycle, I ordered XXL thinking I'd need some room to wear warm gloves underneath the gauntlets, but I think sizing already took that thought into consideration. They are a bit too big, if I had got XL I probably would've been better off. I'd say, go with the same size as a pair of work gloves you can wear comfortably. They fit like supple welding gloves-high flexibility. They are also awesome for Darth Vader cosplay, haha

Hello KZB and thank you for your inquiry. We have a larger glove launching June 1 for XL and XXL hands. The Medium-Large sizing posted currently will fit women's hands and men's up to a Large and slightly XL... the gloves should fit loosely..the glove should not fit skin tight.

I'm NOT finding any M or F/W indicators on what I purchase. Go for the biggest you can find. They ARE short to the wrist but I'm needing the fingertip healing mostly, not palm.

I would consider purchasing the small / medium. Take into consideration if you're using hand wraps you always want to be able to get the glove over the hand wraps. So those should be fine for you.
